About Isobutyl benzene, 99%

Isobutyl benzene is a hydrocarbon in Puriss grade carrying the CAS registry number 538-93-2 with a typical assay of 99%. With the molecular formula C10H14, it has a molar mass of 134.22 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is 2-methylpropylbenzene. Alternative names: 2-Methyl-1-phenylpropane and (2-Methylpropyl)benzene.

It is supplied as a liquid. Literature values give a melting point of -51 °C and a boiling point of 170 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Key uses span organic synthesis and API synthesis. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 500 mL, 5 kg and 4 x 25 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
